Thanks to San Francisco Performances, Community Music Center can offer the opportunity to hear the extraordinary Joshua Roman in our 130-seat concert hall completely free of charge. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during or after his presentation.
Dubbed a “Classical Rock Star” by the press, cellist Joshua Roman has earned a national reputation for performing a wide range of repertoire with an absolute commitment to communicating the essence of the music at its most organic level. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed Roman as “a cellist of extraordinary technical and musical gifts” following his 2010 debut with the San Francisco Symphony under Herbert Blomstedt. For his ongoing creative initiatives on behalf of classical music, Roman was named a 2011 TED Fellow, joining a select group of Next Generation innovators of unusual accomplishments with the potential to positively affect the world.
In the 2011/12 season Roman is guest artist for the Seattle Symphony’s opening night gala, which marks Ludovic Morlot’s first concert as Music Director. He makes his Toronto Symphony debut, performs at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament, and is presented in recital by San Francisco Performances and on the Dame Myra Hess series in Chicago. He was also the only artist invited to perform solo in the now famed YouTube Symphony Orchestra’s debut at Carnegie Hall.
